Greater choice of hearing aids for severe to profound hearing loss
· Signia Power series for high performance and more comfort
· Broad range for diverse customer needs
· From discreet, rechargeable RIC devices to Super Power BTEs
With its Power series of Signia hearing aids, Sivantos offers a diverse selection for severe to profound hearing loss. For optimal treatment, and in accordance with individual customer wishes, the Power series offers not only the classic behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids such as the versatile Motion P and the powerful Motion SP. Small receiver-in-canal (RIC) models are also available. Signia Carat offers the possibility of particularly discreet treatment and Signia Cellion - also a discreet RIC device - is even charged inductively. All of these hearing aids are based on the current primax platform, offering the many advantages of the most modern hearing technology.
More than one in ten people who are hard of hearing are said to suffer from severe to profound hearing loss. They rely on hearing aids more than anyone else. Without exceptionally powerful devices, they cannot adequately comprehend their acoustic environment and cannot communicate well enough with others.
Wide selection for diverse customer needs
Depending on audiological needs and according to individual wishes and preferences, the following Signia hearing aids are available to people with severe to profound hearing loss:
· The particularly small Signia Carat, a RIC device which sits almost invisibly behind the ear. Carat is available in 13 colors and can be operated with standard size 13 batteries, or optionally with rechargeable batteries.
· Signia Cellion, also a RIC model and the first contactless rechargeable hearing aid in the world with a lithium-ion battery, can now be adjusted with power receivers. Cellion comes in twelve colors.
· The new Motion SP is available in six colors and is operated with 675 series batteries. At 141 decibels, it features the highest amplification performance in the Power series. It is the successor to the well-known Nitro and just as powerful in the lower frequency range. It can be optionally equipped with an audio shoe for direct audio input.
· The somewhat smaller Motion P, which is offered in 15 colors and operated with size 13 batteries, now also provides all the advantages of primax technology.
Latest high tech and comfort
All Signia hearing aids for pronounced hearing loss are based on the advanced primax platform. They offer the best possible balance between sound quality and speech comprehension. Their "SpeechMaster" with binaural directionality focuses automatically on the conversation partner and highlights speech - regardless of where it comes from and whether it is overlaid with other noises. The Signia hearing aids of the primax platform can also be operated remotely via smartphone apps (for iOS and Android) and can be connected to modern communication devices and electronic entertainment devices with the easyTek option. The recently launched Signia TeleCare support tool for all hearing aids in the primax portfolio enables hearing care professionals to remotely assist people with hearing loss at precisely the moment they need help with testing or adjusting their hearing aids.
Numerous advantages
People with severe hearing loss benefit particularly from primax technologies. "TwinPhone" automatically transfers the sound from a handset or smartphone to both hearing aids as soon as the telephone is held to the ear. With this feature, telephone conversations are much easier to understand. The "Narrow Focus" directional microphone function helps the hearing aid wearer understand a conversation partner in noisy environments, even with competing speech signals. Furthermore, people with an unaidable hearing loss in one ear can make optimal use of their hearing ability in the other ear through innovative use of CROS or BiCROS to better understand conversation partners. In addition, all Signia hearing aids of the primax platform have integrated tinnitus functions - including a unique new Notch Therapy - which especially helps the many people who also suffer from tonal tinnitus.
The Signia Power series offers a wide selection of the latest models with innovative hearing technology for daily wearability and user comfort, which is particularly beneficial to the target group of people with severe to profound hearing loss.
